Numeric tools in school: losing memory ability ?

D55 on this curiosity blog!

Today, I saw again another article talking how much we should increase the rythm of numerization in the school environment. …

I must admit that I'm not 100% convinced by this position.
To be honest :
- I'm sure that there are very good ways to use the internet and a computer to provide tools adapted to school, education and learning.
- especially, recording lectures, allowing them to be shared in many languages, heard, and repeatable IS A GOOD THING
- BUT our memory can be affected by the method chosen: handwritten sentences might be easier to process for our brain, compared with computer screens.

AND THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT UNTIL THIS STUDY!



A very serious manuscript in which the students were reaching the highest scores when typing their notes, especially during a lecture context !
And you, how do you teach / learn in lectures ?
